Did anyone encounter the below error while running job in Hadoop. It occurs in the reduce phase of the job.

attempt_201012061426_0001_m_000292_0: org.apache.hadoop.util.DiskChecker$DiskErrorException: Could not find any valid local directory for taskTracker/jobcache/job_201012061426_0001/attempt_201012061426_0001_m_000292_0/output/file.out

It states that it is not able to locate a file that is created in mapred.local.dir of Hadoop.

This error occurs due to less space in mapred.child.tmp directory.

<property> <name>mapred.child.tmp</name> <value>./tmp</value> <description> To set the value of tmp directory for map and reduce tasks. If the value is an absolute path, it is directly assigned. Otherwise, it is prepended with task's working directory. The java tasks are executed with option -Djava.io.tmpdir='the absolute path of the tmp dir'. Pipes and streaming are set with environment variable, TMPDIR='the absolute path of the tmp dir' </description></property>With Best RegardsAdarsh Sharma
